Admissions process

The admissions process for the programme consists of two rounds, both of which are eliminatory. Applicants are assessed based on predefined criteria, and the assessment is carried out by an admissions committee composed of representatives from FAMU (Film and TV School of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague), TV Nova and CME.

First round of the admissions process

The applicant must submit three mandatory components:

2. Proposal of an Individual Project – the applicant chooses either a project in the area of Fiction/Documentary or a project in the area of R&E (the assignment for both project options is provided in the application form).

3. Applicant’s work portfolio – selection of works demonstrating previous creative activity (scripts, videos, projects, etc.)
